12. Purchases from our Tesco Partners

12.1 You authorise Tesco to process payments as agent of the Tesco Partner. Tesco has no other responsibility to you in respect of these orders except where expressly set out otherwise.

13. Specific product terms

13.1 Some purchases made on the Tesco direct site will also be governed by specific product terms - please go to PART D of these Terms and Conditions to see if any of the products you are purchasing have additional specific product terms

14. Descriptions and prices of products

14.1 We have taken care to describe and show products as accurately as possible. Despite this, products may vary from their descriptions. If there is anything that you do not understand, or if you wish to obtain further information, please contact customer services (see paragraph 25 below for contact details).

14.2 If there is a difference between the price for a product in the Tesco direct catalogue and the Tesco direct site, you will be charged the price on the Tesco direct site. The price offered in respect of a product on the Tesco direct site may differ from the price offered at the same time in Tesco stores. We are under no obligation to honour any in-store price or promotion in the event that it differs from those on the Tesco direct site or in the Tesco direct catalogue.

14.3 If, by mistake, we have under priced a product, we will not be liable to supply that product to you at the stated price, provided that we notify you before we despatch the product to you. In those circumstances, we reserve the right to cancel your order. In the event we cancel your order, we will give you a full refund on any amount already paid for that product in accordance with our return and refund policy.

14.4 All prices are expressed inclusive of any VAT payable unless otherwise stated.

14.5 The price of a product does not include the delivery charge, which will depend on the delivery method you choose and will be added during checkout. See paragraph 15 below.

15. Availability

15.1 All products advertised are subject to availability or while stocks last (as may be applicable).

15.2 We try to ensure that we always stock the full product range and will let you know if the product is out of stock. If for any reason beyond our reasonable control we are unable to supply a particular product, we will not be liable to you except to ensure that you are not charged for that product.

15.3 In the interests of all our customers, we may place restrictions on bulk buying of some products. If you try to bulk buy products that have bulk buying restrictions you will receive a message telling you to reduce the number of products you're trying to buy.

16. Acceptance of orders

16.1 Your order is an offer to buy from us. We will send you an order confirmation email detailing the products you have ordered and an estimated date for delivery or collection in store, as applicable. Please note that this email is not acceptance of your order by us.

16.2Nothing that we do or say will amount to any acceptance of your offer until we send you an email notifying you that we have despatched a product to you or notifying you when a product will be available to collect in store (as applicable). At this point, a contract will be made between us for you to buy and us to sell the products that you have ordered from us. Where products are despatched or made available to collect in store separately, our acceptance of the order in respect of each product takes place when we notify you by email of such despatch.

16.3 After the time the contract is made, you cannot amend your order (however, you may cancel an order set out in our return and refund policy).

16.4 At any point up until the contract is made, we may decline to supply a product to you. If we decline to supply a product to you and you have already paid for it, we will give you a full refund of any amount already paid for that product in accordance with our return and refund policy.

17.4 Whilst we make considerable effort to deliver all your products within 30 days of the date of your order, we shall not be liable if we fail to do so in part or in full due to circumstances beyond our control. We shall contact you to let you know if we are having any problems getting a product to you within that time.

17.5 Where you purchase products from both Tesco and a Tesco Partner in a single order, the Tesco Partner is responsible for the delivery of the products it has sold and Tesco is separately responsible for the delivery of the products it has sold. Therefore, delivery will be made separately and will not necessarily arrive at the same time.

You can choose to have the books that are ready first to be despatched first. There is no delivery charge if you choose standard delivery but there is a charge for any other type of delivery at the then prevailing rate.

29. Entertainment

29.1 Payment for pre-orders - Payment for pre-order titles will be taken at the time you place your order. In the event that the price of the title on its release is higher than the price you paid, we guarantee you will only pay the lower price.

Where applicable, we will process any refund on the title's release date and it should be credited to your payment card within three to five working days. See our help pages for more information.

30.3 You are able to book your preferred date for your chosen experience, however the experiences in respect of which Gift Experience Vouchers may be redeemed are subject to availability (and in some cases subject to weather conditions on the day). In order to avoid disappointment, we recommend that you book your experience well in advance and do not organise travel or accommodation until the booking has been confirmed by the third party Gift Experience Voucher operator.

30.4 Your chosen experience may involve some personal risk and with some experiences you may be required to sign a disclaimer on the day. Please read any disclaimer documents carefully.

31. Fresh Flowers

31.1 Acceptance. Completion of the online order process does not constitute our acceptance of your offer to purchase products from Tesco.

Prior to despatch of this email, Tesco reserves the right to decline an order for any reason, including, but not limited to; legal reasons, regulatory reasons, supply difficulties, and Gift Messages submitted by you that we consider may contain content that is offensive, obscene or otherwise objectionable.

31.2 Substitution. We reserve the right to substitute alternative products of equal or greater quality and value at no extra cost to you if we experience supply difficulties.

You are entirely responsible for the text and other content of your gift message and Tesco accepts no liability for any such content.

PART E: eCoupons

40. Standard eCoupon terms & conditions

40.1 Using eCoupons

In addition to the rest of these Terms and Conditions, this paragraph 26 (the “eCoupon Terms and Conditions”) applies specifically in addition to the use of electronic coupons issued by Tesco (“eCoupons”).

eCoupons can only be used on the Tesco direct site subject to these Terms and Conditions, and any other specific conditions notified to you on the issue of an eCoupon. No eCoupon is redeemable through any website owned or operated by Tesco Stores Limited or any other Tesco store other than the Tesco direct site (for instance, eCoupons cannot be used for purchases from the Tesco Outlet eBay store). Additionally, eCoupons cannot be redeemed from the Tesco Jersey online store.

An eCoupon is redeemed by entering its code at the appropriate point in the online purchase process. Redemption may be subject to you providing proof of entitlement to use the eCoupon.

Your use of an eCoupon indicates your agreement to be bound by the eCoupon Terms and Conditions.

Tesco reserves the right to withdraw or cancel an eCoupon for any reason at any time.

40.2 Distribution of eCoupons

eCoupons are, and remain at all times, the property of Tesco.

The right to use an eCoupon is personal to the original recipient and may not be transferred. No eCoupon may be copied, reproduced, distributed, or published directly or indirectly in any form or by any means for use by an entity other than the original recipient, or stored in a data retrieval system, without the prior written permission of Tesco.

eCoupons distributed or circulated without the written approval of Tesco, for example on an Internet message board or on a “bargains” website, are not valid for use and may be refused or cancelled.

40.3 Permitted usage of eCoupons

Unless expressly stated otherwise at the time of issue of the eCoupon:

Each issued eCoupon will be valid for use by a recipient only once;

Only one eCoupon will be valid for use per customer or household, as the case may be; and

An eCoupon may not be used in conjunction with any other special offer or eCoupon.

Even where eCoupons expressly state at the time of issue that they may be used in conjunction with other eCoupons or offers, any eCoupon code beginning XX may not be used in conjunction with any other eCoupon code that also begins XX.

Even where eCoupons expressly state at the time of issue that they may be used in conjunction with other eCoupons or offers, any eCoupon code beginning TDX may not be used in conjunction with any other eCoupon code that also begins TDX.

eCoupons cannot be exchanged for cash or used to purchase gift-vouchers.

40.4 Excluded goods and services

Certain goods or services are excluded from all eCoupon offers. These include tobacco, infant formula milk and prescription medicines. From time to time other goods or services may be excluded and any such further exclusion will be notified to you along with the eCoupon or through the Tesco direct site.

eCoupons may be limited to redemption in respect of certain products or services or certain products or services may be excluded from the ambit of use of the eCoupon, in which case notice will be given to you at the time of issue of the eCoupon.

Excluded goods and services will not count towards any qualifying conditions for offers and will not benefit from any promotional discount.

40.5 Minimum spend requirements

Where the redemption of an eCoupon is subject to a minimum spending requirement, the redemption is only permitted in respect of the purchase of qualifying products that will be communicated to you at the time of issue of the eCoupon. Excluded products and supplementary charges, such as delivery, gift wrap or postage & packing, shall not count towards a minimum spending requirement.

If more than one minimum spend offer is valid for use in an order, there must be sufficient qualifying spend to meet the requirements of each offer in total. For example, to use a £3 off £30 eCoupon and a £5 off £50 eCoupon in the same transaction (assuming that these eCoupons can be used together), you must spend at least £80.

40.6 Calculation of discount

Where an online offer states that a percentage discount will be given on a purchase, the cost of the qualifying purchases will be reduced by the stated discount percentage.

Where purchases are stated to be offered on a “VAT-free” basis, the prices of qualifying products will be reduced by the equivalent of VAT. At the current VAT rate of 20%, this equates to a discount of 16.67%.

Supplementary charges such as delivery or postage & packing shall not be discounted unless specifically stated in the offer description.

40.7 Security and Fraud

When you use an eCoupon you warrant to Tesco that you are the duly authorised recipient of the eCoupon and that you are using it in good faith.

If you redeem, attempt to redeem or encourage the redemption of eCoupons to obtain discounts to which you or a third party are not entitled you may be committing a civil or criminal offence.

If we reasonably believe that any eCoupon is being used unlawfully or illegally we may reject or cancel any eCoupon and you agree that you will have no claim against us in respect of any rejection or cancellation. Tesco reserves the right to take any further action it deems appropriate in such instances.

If we refuse an eCoupon submitted as part of an order, for any reason, we will inform you before the order is despatched to advise of the correct cost of the order and give you the opportunity to cancel the order.

40.8 Limitation of liability

Orders submitted with eCoupons shall be accepted by Tesco in the usual way (as set out in paragraph 20 above).

Tesco shall not be liable to any customer or household for any financial loss arising out of the refusal, cancellation or withdrawal of any eCoupon or any failure or inability of a customer or household to use an e-Coupon for any reason.
